Busy times at the moth trap recently and not enough time to update blog
A gold triangle, Hypsopygia Costalis was a new micro for the garden (photo 1) whilst a ruby tiger was an expected mid July arrival (photo 2). However, more unexpected, on the same night was a buff footman (3). The following night a v pug (4) and waved black (5) were good to see along with a dagger sp (6.) Also, a new micro, albeit common, a Hypsopygia glaucinalis (7) and a large emerald, another new garden record (8).
In Chapel Lane, outside the house, I came across several 6 spot burnet moths, 1st of the year (9 and 10). Whilst the following morning (Friday 27th) another new micro was recorded in the garden; a Lozotaeniodes formosana (11) along with a twenty plume moth (Alucita hexadactyla 12) All in all a good few days.
